Litigation Support

Banks and financial services companies face a complex litigation landscape. Regulatory agencies, along with both federal and state prosecutors, pursue recovery on a variety of allegations ranging from regulatory enforcement to false claims actions. Consumer class action litigation continues to rise as plaintiffs’ attorneys press to find the limits of regulatory recovery. And, finally, other financial institutions seek recovery under complex agreements covering everything from debt securitization to asset management.

Treliant offers access to testifying experts and a stable of subject-matter specialists in support, working together with former attorneys who understand the litigation process. Our team is able to provide law firms with the context necessary to fully understand factual issues, and partner with law firms to plan for the presentation of evidence both at the negotiating table and in the courtroom.

Our teams are trial tested, having been retained to work with financial services companies, and the law firms which represent them, on some of the largest banking litigation to proceed to trial in recent years.

Typically, our clients are responding to threatened or actual government investigations, commercial claims, or lawsuits. We are able to mobilize quickly, provide seasoned experts and support teams, and successfully manage large, complex projects.
